Creep Factor!

I’m writing a short film screenplay about trust. Not to give too much of the plot away, it involves an older guy marrying a much, much younger woman Now---- with Indiana Jones opening this weekend, and all the woman’s talk of Harrison Ford’s lingering ‘hotness’ at 65.

His relationship with a much younger woman (22 years age difference) I would like to know what the average person’s “Creep Factor” for dating younger/older people. I recently read that it is the older person’s age, divided by two and add seven and that is the YOUNGEST the older person can get involved with. In my screenplay- my guy is aged 55 and his wife is 22.

My personal creep factor right now is probably 10 years or so I guess. I never really gave it much thought. I do think I won't end up with someone much above or below 5 years difference from my age as I am not sure we'd be in the same place in life but I also learned long ago to never say never!

Hmmm...I get creeped out from dating guys younger than me. lol I don't think 55/22 is that creepy. Depends on the couple and the maturity level. Kind of reminds me of the couple from Northern Exposure, the older guy and the younger girl. I know it's tv but they had good chemistry.
